Carlos Guestrin Wins Presidential Early Career Award
Carlos Guestrin has just been given the highest honor bestowed by the US government for early-career scientists and engineers, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). One of just 100 so named, Carlos will have the opportunity to meet President Obama to receive the award.
Although he is still early in his career, Carlos’ accomplishments and contributions to computer science and machine learning have already made a tremendous impact. His foundational research on the use of submodular functions in machine learning and optimization have been applied to a multitude of data-intensive problems, from lower-cost monitoring of water quality to healthier design of chairs.
Within the AI research community, Carlos is a major figure, a recent winner of the prestigious Computers and Thought Award, which will be formally presented at the IJCAI conference next week. In the popular press, Carlos last year was named by Popular Science to their Brilliant 10 best young scientists to watch. Carlos is also an accomplished painter, something that he put to good use to butter me up on one of my birthdays. ;-)
Congratulations, Carlos!
